Sending null value to sharepoint list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

Hi, I have a powerapp that is uploading a document to sharepoint document library along with a few fields that are entered by the user, I had to add a isblank function for when users leave any of the fields blank this works fine with the text & combobox fields however the field containing the "reviewers" details (i.e. People field type in sharepoint) fails with the error 'the specified user could not be found'

 

Not sure what I'm missing here

    Hello @fosso ,

     

    You have to send HTTP request to sharepoint with -1 value for people field in order to set its null value.

    Hi @fosso,

     

    If the field is null, you could refer to this method in the post:
